Here's a third knife headed to Seattle with me. It's a nice compact, yet stout guardless hunter.
Hand forged from 1095
8" overall, 3 5/8" blade, .190" at the ricasso
Raised clip, not sharp distal taper comes to a nice piercing point
Rounded spine and ricasso edge
Bronze collars
Damascus spacer
Oil finished curly claro walnut handle
Damascus screw cap
That's beautiful!
Very nice, John. Those bronze spacers provide a great contrast. The matching radius of the rounded spine and guard collar is a nice touch as well. Everything fits together so nicely....
Very nice! I really like the bronze and pattern weld spacers.
This makes me feel unworthy of my own ABS Apprentice standing.

This is one awesome knife, If you do not mind me asking, how did you achieve the surface finish? Is this etched?
Thanks,
